First up, The Athletic’s Mike Sando joins the show to run through a number of headlines, hirings, rumblings, and general goings-on around the NFL over the last week or so, including Deshaun Watson’s tenuous relationship with the Houston Texans, the possibility he forces a trade to another team, potential landing spots, and more, Brandon Staley’s new gig as Los Angeles Chargers head coach, the Sean McVay-Jared Goff marriage on the rocks, Eric Bieniemy getting left off the head coaching carousel so far, how race is seemingly playing a factor in how franchise’s make their coaching staff decisions, and much more.

Plus, The Athletic’s Nate Taylor stops by for a Kansas City Chiefs Team Visit to discuss the injury status of Patrick Mahomes, and whether the franchise QB will be under center for Sunday’s AFC Championship game against the Bills, the quietly important and underrated Chiefs defensive players, Eric Bieniemy becoming emblematic of biased hiring practices in the NFL, and much more.
